Finding Affordable Big Island Luxury in a Kona or Kohala Coast Condo

Here in Hawaii the cost of land is much more expensive in comparison to most parts of the world. We have less of it, for one, and two…it’s really nice here. Since the cost of land can be pricey, it makes sense to build up as opposed to out. A condominium accomplishes just that, which is why living in a condo is usually less expensive than a home in the same area and provides the ability to make even luxury properties more affordable.

Kona Coast – Keauhou Estates & Hale Kehau

Let’s first take a look at the Kona Coast. In the Keauhou area you have a beautiful, gated community called Keauhou Estates. Keauhou Estates features custom homes surrounding the Kona Country Club golf course and over looking the entire coastline. The median home price in this community is about $1.7M.
